Your Health is in Your Hands

Eat Healthy + Move More = Perform Better

GOOD HEALTH: Touches everyone on some level…

“A man too busy to take care of his health is like a

mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.”

The Vicious Circle

No sleep

No exercise

Poor eating habits

Lack of energy

My Motto:

“Strive for progress,

not perfection.”

PHYSICAL HEALTH:

FITNESS

Clean and Healthy Eating

Remember the 2 “Q” words:

Quantity Quality

Quit the “Clean Plate Club”

Trick yourself with smaller dishes

Get in touch with your “domino foods”

Have it “Your Way” at restaurants

Quality

DIETEDIT

Real Food: Food grows and dies. It isn’t created.

Food rots, wilts, and becomes generally unappetizing, typically rather quickly.

Food doesn’t need an ingredient label (and probably isn’t in a package either).

Food doesn’t make health claims.

Get Moving!

Get Moving!

Remember the 3 “C” words: Commitment

Consistency

Convenience

Commitment

Write it down!

Set your goals – the difference between a goal and a dream is a deadline

Convenience

Find something accessible and easy

Do what you like to do-PLAY!
